The days and nights in the moon
are 3O4 hours long. Each season con-
sists of but three days and three
nights, and twelve days and nights
constitute a yearoi the same length
rs ours. For fifteen uaYS tiic sun
shines unintermittingly, rendering
the lunar day more scoiching than
the fiery breath OF the sirocco, For
fifteen nights darkness and intense
cold succeed the moons day. And
thus each Of its long days will be in
reality a summer, and every night
winter.

In case of a strike or riot in which
the property of either of our railroads
should be threatened, we presume
thew would lose no time in imploring
the protection of the state. But when
the state asserts its authority
for the protection of the people
againt extortionate passenger
rates. the railroads at once assume a
position of defiant resistance. What

Essay of Mr. Frank Richbourg Before
the Agricultural Society.
Mr.. President ::

Mr.. PRESIDENT
1 have always been in favor of an
Agricultural Society, for such an or
ganization is calculated to do much
good. 1t will bring the farmers close,
together and will cause the results O
many valuable experiments made b.
different ones to be brought to light
1t will improve the knowledge OF cul
tivation, of applying manure ane
farming so as to improve the land
It will teach US how to develop the re
sources of the farm for home-mad
manure, which is of the greatest val
ue to the farmer. There are various
ways of making Good composts andi
is by combining commercial manure
with these, that the worn soil is in
proved and it cannot be done al,
other way.
Abundance ofmaterial can be founc
in reach cf almost every farm whic!
can be converted into very valuable
compost A good compost can be
made by arranging shed, and put
ting under it good pile of mud o.
rich soil and upon this empty the
ashes from the chimney and the soal
suds and other waste.
Another splendid compost can be
made bv raking the oak thickets and
hill sides, and mixing with wood ash
es and salt, and we can also make q
great deal more good manure in the
stable lot by keeping them constantly
filed up.
We find that when plenty Of com
post is applied and the guano on it,
the guano will pay great deal better,
the cotton will make a third more,
and that is not all; it makes lasting
improvement 10 h. lard We some
zines here farmers say they can't tin
time to make compost and it does 10
pay, but we contend that it pays eveu
if one has to plant great deal less
land. We all plant too much lane
any way. If We would plant less,
make more compost, and work cleaner,
we would surely realize better prof.
it, and soon become more independ-
ant.

, tbe conce;t Of our r,ra;oo neiobbors.

in the conceit Of our foreign nei9hbors.
The only way to ige tue forty ninth
Congress will be by comparing it with prey
ious Congresses, and it must be said IN its
favor that more bills have been introduced
and passed by it, more have become laws
and more have received vctos, thar in any
of the Congresses that lad gone before. Ma
ny important and useful measures were
passed among them changing the PraSiden-
t!al succession to the Cabinet; regulating
the Eiec;ora! Count so rs to avoid disputes;
providing for one and two dollar partt cur
rency: u@!ldinga new Congressional Libra
ry; recovering in forfeited railroad land

Ing it TO the public domain; extending the
mail delivery system 10 the tow:ls with iO,-
coo population: the Inter State Commerce
law: granting land IN severalty to Indians;
the Canadian iictaAat:on bill: the repeal OF
the Tenure Of Office act; the increase OF the
Navy; and prohibiting the importation CT
foreign contract laboc.
The bad measures attempted were nu-
meroas, fortunately few OF them became
laws. Among them were the OleCmargar!ne
tax; the Backbone land grant swindie; the
Mexican Pension bill; and the Dependant
Pension bill. which was vetoed by the Pres
iaent. The River and Harbor bill met de-
served, failure The President believing tie
none, was not needed. refused to sign it.
The River and Hurbor bill which he signed
August 9th 1886 made an appropriation OF
81 414 600 and there vas then part OF the
preceding appropriation nnexpended- On
the first OF November last the Eng ineer IL
Chief reported to Congress that there was
on hand tor the Improvement OF Rivers and
Harbors SIC, 1862. But little of this
money has been spent and there was no
necessity for the appropriation Of SlO,OO0,-
00O more.
1t was President Clerelands original in
tentiou to remain at the " hito House dur
ing the closing hours Of Congress, but at the
last moment having received telegrams from
Speaker Carlisle and both Senators and
Representatives that the District Appropri
alton bill would fail unless he could reach
the Capitol in time to sign it, he entered his
carriage and reached the Presidents room
ut the Senate end Of the Capitol only fifteen
minutes before the time that Congress mus;
expire by Constitution. There he and his
Cabinet glanced at the bills that Were
brought to him by swift messengers, and
such us were approved received his sigma
ture. The intelligence that the President
was in the building spread rapidly, there
were not less than five thousand people III
the Capitol, and he had not been in his
room three minutes before the police had to
1 form a Gordon around the door to prevent
the intrusion Of the throngs of people who
pressed forward to catch sight OF the Eres-
ldent The police had hard time of it
until MIR. Cleveland left the Copitol q few
minutes after adjournment. He had had
only three hours rest since Wednesday
night, but he showed no signs of fatigue
and after returning to the White House hr
held the usual daily reception Of visitors i'll

Shall Our Dead be Forgotten ?

The sad death of our esteemed fel-
low townsman Dr.. G. Allen Higgins,
Sr., who was laid away into bis sleep
of death few days ago, brings pam
fully to remembrance the fact, that the
Guardian of the last resting place Of
our dead viii no longer devote his
time, means, and talent in the dis
charge Of that labor of love and life
time, which kept in a state of beauty
tilted neatness the Cemetery OF Man
ling.
Years ago, when the town was first
Incorporated, a plot of ground was Sc
lected for the purpose, and a number
Of trustees appointed for its manage
ment. These gentlemen, as we have
been told, divided up the space into
lots of convenient and suitable size,
and sold them out to purchasers, at a
regularly stipulated price, and We say
with sorrow and disappointment that,
on account of the non-payment Of
many of the purchases, the Trustees
were always thwarted in their efforts
to decorate and beautify that sacred
place.
From time to time, these gentlemen
have died; leaving as the last OF the
line, the worthy christian man alluded
to in this article.
Having but a slender resource aris-
ing from the payments Of a few, DR.,
Higgins went faithfully to work and
by liberal outlay OF time, taste, and
his own private means, our Cemetery
has been, thus far, kept in a condition
well pleasing to the eyes Of those
bound thereto by the indissoluble
ties, which not even the grave can
conquer.
We are now face to face with the
fact, that it is practically without the
supervision of any one, specially; and
this condition of affairs should not be
allowed to exist any longer. Let
those who are interested (and VINO is
not? meet, and tax into cansidera-
ton such means ana Measures as will
most efectuaGy reach the end desired.
Let us all remember the time when,
with heavy hearts end many tears, we
laid our loved cnec away, s:dust to
dust and ashes to ashes;;" and set to
work vigorously. Let meeting be
called at once and new trustees ap-
pointed, who will go into the enter
prise with the determination TIA: Tic
Manning Cemetery shall not be allow
ed to run to waste; but to the contra
~, bedeck the grounds in such way
as viii do honor to the love we bear
for those who sleep beneath its soil.
TIE hands of Eandals, harpies, and
robbers have invaded the sacred pre-
cinct, and stolen flowers, shrubbery,
even while under the watchful eye OF
its jealous gardian; and with that vig-
lance removed, who can foreteil the re-
suit?

once, to the discharge OF your duties

JUSTICE CHEATED.

Jones, the murder of the three
Pressleys, father and two sons, about
eighteen months ago in EdgeGeld
Was, last week, the second time, put
upon his trial. The circumstances OF
the killing published at the time, de-
scribed one of the most horrible deeds
OF crime on record The failure of
the jury at the first trial to agree was
a great shock to the people Of Edge
ield and the State 1t was attributed
to one Of those incompreheDsible mys-
teries which sometimes influence 3
juror to set his obligation aside and
override the law and evidence. After
this many feared that Jones, notwith-
standing the revolving crime, would
escape the merited punishment. At
the trial last week the Attorney-Gen-
eral of the State, at the instance of the
Governor, assisted the Solicitor in the
prosecution. Jones was defended by
Major ". I. Gary, and Gary & Evans
OF the Edgeield bar. The hearing Of
the case consumed three days. It was
given to the Jury 5 o'clock p M, Satur-
day, and 4 o'clock Sunday morning,
asverdict OF manslaughter was agreed
:" Jones came near escaping again,
two Of the jury, for reasons known to
themselves, we're for acquitting, and
for eleven long hours clung to this
purpose. At the end of that e they
consented to a compromise on man
slaughter.
Jones ought to have hanged, and
his escape from the sallows is a cheat
OF justice. The Judge has withheld
his sentence to await the result OF a
motion for a new trial, to be made by
his counsel. When the sentence is
imposed it viii no doubt be TIE limit

COMPTROLLER TRENHOLM.
He Denies a Report--He Never Sait
or Thought What Gen. Sherman
is Alleged to Have Proclaimed.
OFFICE OF THE
CoNRTaoLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
L OG-

COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
WASHINGTON, March 8, 1887.
Editor augusta Chronicle:
The enclosed clipping credited to
your paper refers to me in a connec-
ton which impels me to ask you to
publish this reply:
I believe Gen. Sherman, on the oc-
casioa referred to. did quote South
ern man to the effect that the march
to the sea" was good thing, because
It ended the var and restored the
Union, but he certainly did not at
tribute the remark to me, nor had I
the least idea that it was so under
stood by any one present. It seems
absolutely supertiuous to add that, Of
course, l never uttered any such senti-
nent as you quoted, nor can I enter
tain any such feeling. Respectfully,
". J.. TRENHOLM.
What the Augusta Chronicle has tc
say:
"In communication published else
where Hon. W. L. Trenholm denies
that be expressed to Gen. Sherman or
anybody else any gladness for the
march to the sea-
Comptroller Trenholm never enter
tanned a thought in common with
what Gen. Sherman declared.
We are glad to hear this.
Gen. Sherman may have been at
his old game of prevarication. He
has the floor.
1t is superfuous to say that the
Chronicle published what was report
ed OF Mr.. Trenholm in sorrow, and
that the denial is given gladly.
Is Gen Sherman still maintaining
Gen. Wade Hampton's opinion of
him? Hampton once remarked that
Sherman was the biggest liar in an
army that contained John Pope"
1t seems to US that it would be in
order for the Augusta Chronicle to
give its authority for the report which
it published. 1t is rather indefinite to
say that it published what was re-
ported of Mr. Trenholm in sorrow,
and then let the matter drop It
should give It's authority to show that
it had reasonable foundation for the
statement and the accompanying re-
marks. Upon the authority of the
Chronicle the matter has been exten-
sively circulated and commented on,
aud it IS due to the public as well as
Mr.. Trenholm that the Chronicle |
sho.:ld produce its authority.-44ihen

Tie willy Sherman, it is declared, is
aspiring to Ell the presidential chair,
and his recent trip to the South is
supposed to be move to put on foot
a scheme to elect Sherman delegates
to the next Republican presidential
convention. Senators Butler, and
Ransom of North Carolina, We're in-
vited to join the Sherman excursion,
but getting an irkling of the Ohio
Senator's designes, both respectfully
declined. It was a happy idea to
make tour OF the South with two
such illnstcious Southerners. The
people would have understood and
felt that the war days were over, and
even the animosities created were for
gotten. With one arm around the
gallant Butler ani the other caressing
the distinguished Ransom, the burn
ing Of Columbia an. other outrages
would be blotted from the pages OF
history.
